| Reverse description | Poseidon standing to the left in a dynamic contrapposto pose, his right foot raised and resting upon a rocky outcrop, his nude body rendered in the idealized Hellenistic manner. He holds a long trident upright in his right hand, serving as his divine attribute and dynastic emblem linking Demetrius to the sea god. A monogram appears in the left field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. The reverse legend ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (of Demetrius the King) is disposed in two lines around the field, asserting his royal title in Greek. |
